The JBL Flip 6 will offer better sound and battery life in an IP67 water-resistant package in the middle of the Northern Hemisphere\u2019s winter months.<\/b>
\nJBL has taken the wraps off its latest flagship portable speaker, the JBL Flip 6, by providing some of its key features as well as its price and release date. The latest features on JBL\u2019s premium Bluetooth speaker include a 12-hour battery life, IP67 water and dustproof rating, and JBL\u2019s PartyBoost feature that allows you to pair multiple speakers together to pump up the volume. At just $129 \/ \u00a3129.99 (about AU$175), it seems like it\u2019s going to be a great value and one of the summer\u2019s must-own poolside accessories. The only problem? It\u2019s coming out during some of North America and Europe\u2019s coldest months \u2013 December for the US and November for Europe. Thankfully those south of the equator will get to enjoy the speaker as soon as it comes out, as that\u2019s right around the time temperatures start to rise, but everyone else will have to wait a few months to test their new speakers out by the water. Alongside the JBL Flip 6, JBL is also announcing two other speakers: the PartyBox 110 and PartyBox 710. Somewhere in between a portable speaker and a straight-up loud speaker, the PartyBox series amps up the wattage of the speakers and doubles the amount of drivers. Inside the PartyBox 710 you\u2019ve got two low distortion tweeters, two 8\u201d excursion drivers and an improved bass reflex port. The PartyBox 110 isn\u2019t quite as well-equipped as the 710 model, but with 160W of power, it should be more than enough to keep your guests entertained. The other good news? You won\u2019t have to wait nearly as long for them. The JBL PartyBox 110 is available now for $399 \/ \u00a3299.99 (about AU$540) while the JBL PartyBox 710 hits store shelves on November 14 in the US and drops in October for Europe. At $799 \/ \u00a3699.99 (about AU$1,000), the JBL PartyBox 710 won\u2019t be cheap, but it will definitely make a splash at your next outdoor party\u2026 you know, sometime in the next six to eight months depending on where in North America or Europe you live.<\/p>\n
